So far, Tesla has sold nearly 30,000 Cybertrucks in North America. By and large, the experience has been positive, with nine out of ten Cybertruck owners praising their trucks. However, there have been some negative experiences as well. There have been reports of trucks malfunctioning in the middle of highways, heating systems failing, and even one unfortunate individual whose frame cracked into two pieces after hitting a pothole.

Out of 30,000 sales, the number of negative experiences is minuscule, and it is actually below the average number of negative experiences for any car model. What sets the Cybertruck anomalies apart is the disproportionate amount of negative press they receive.

While thousands of positive stories exist, the media tends to focus on fewer than a dozen negative incidents, sensationalizing them for all they are worth. This is largely because Elon Musk, like Donald Trump, is seen as a polarizing figure by the media. It’s clear that the mainstream media has learned nothing and will continue to misrepresent the truth in favor of a narrative, even as their audience continues to shrink.

What amuses me to no end is that Elon Musk is now one of you MAGA.....the very people who have constantly (on these boards) railed and pissed and moaned about electric cars, saying that they suck and are going to die out.

Quick quiz. What gives Elon his greatest source of revenue? :auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg:

Normal isn't news (ie, you car works)
Abnormal is news (ie, you car explodes killing 50 million people).

Left wing mantra requires that all things social be weaponized in favor of the cause. Ergo you have wives weaponizing sex.... Family members weaponizing Thanksgiving dinners .... Consumers weaponizing their wallets and so on.
It's a sickness.... A deeply ingrained form of control freakism that deserves its very own special category of mental illness.

Electric cars. Everyone should be against government created industries. I can see using government to research cancer, health, even technogy. But I do not advocate for industries to be created by government.

We all see the problems with forcing a dubious technology onto the public.

But, I do like Musk and don't blame him for making billions off the Green Economy scam

And, now that I work for Elon Musk, I appreciate the government's spending.

WRONG again, Apookamondo! EVs have been around for over 100 years! EVs are just fine IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT--- where they fail is under Biden's plan to ignore free market demands and to FORCE everyone to buy an EV by 2035 and entirely replace ICE cars under his delusional globalist green agenda. There just are many situations and people where ICE cars are still (and may always be) the better choice.

I think they are great for some people...just not for me. What is being railed and pissed and moaned about is forcing everyone to get one for no good reason.
 
Conservatives are not opposed to electric cars, we are opposed to EV mandates, and policies that have the effect of a mandate.

We are not opposed to VACCINES, we are opposed to vaccine mandates, and people getting fired for refusing to be vaccinated.

We are not opposed to "renewable energy," we are opposed to government policies that put a thumb on the scale of the economic viability of ANY source of power.

We are not opposed to people pretending to be the opposite sex, we are opposed to mandates that we accept these delusions as factual, when they clearly are not.

Get it?

Save your breath. Jack is incapable of seeing anyone's POV other than his own much less conceding anyone but he has a valid point. You will either get a non-reply from Jack or he will reappear just to tell you that you are a deluded, wrong fool without explaining why much less debating the details and facts of both sides.

It doesn't change who buys the vehicles...
Nor the idea that EVs are a failed technology.

Well, again, the technology will catch up. Electric is just the way the tech is headed. My wife didn't want an electric car either for her next one. Not even a hybrid. So we searched high and low for a gas powered one in the manufacturer she wanted. Took a while, but we found one. I'm not an electric car evangelist. Again, I"m just amused that everyone in the electric car hating Trumpsphere is embracing the Doge Bro wannabe...who makes most of his money off electric cars. :)

I own a Nissan leaf but my circumstances are unique. I work two miles from my house and I live in an urban area with all amenities close by.

Even then one has to strategize with range limitations.

I also own a gas powered rogue. As for Tesla? You couldn't pay me to own one. Waaaaay too expensive for any kind of repair if you are lucky enough to get a repair appointment.
 
So are you guys really on board with this type of future world? Where nearly all cars are electric, and someone has the power to turn off your car remotely, and driving a gas powered car will be like riding a horse?

If Technocracy, universal basic income, carbon tax, brain chips, and world government is "conservative" then I'm the Queen of flippin England.

I like Musk but he's just wrong...
The future will be dominated by hydrogen combustion vehicles. You can bet on it.
As soon as they get over the hump of how to economically separate the hydrogen It will be game over. Oddly enough Tesla is currently getting ready to mass produce hydrogen fueled vehicles.
